Another Finished Product

Hello again. I started this layout ages ago at a workshop demonstrating embossing on patterned paper, and then was waiting for the photos to come from Harvey Norman. There should be another 2 layouts that I can finish this arvo now I have the photos. So this photo is taken of Paul and I are at the Margaret River Chocolate Factory in Swan Valley. We had a scrumptious morning tea which I am going to make another layout of sometime soon. I've stamped a swirl in versamark and then embossed it. To make the border I used the jumbo wheel Friendly words. There are 3 types of stamping on here I've just realised! The title are using glitter letters from Deb's shop.They are really great to make a quick title. To make the + I chopped off the curve on a 'T"!

A little Creative Advice needed please

Hi. Hope you are enjoying this beautiful Pilbara Sunday afternoon. It's glorious. I know I should be outside but the kids are happily playing with the neighbours so I'm sneaking in a little scrapping. So I've been working on this layout and I am a bit stuck. Tell me which one you thinks looks best to help me over this hump! I've lost the 'R' sticker! The first word on the ribbon should be Road. Ok well I'll be waiting to hear from you so I can get this layout in an album. BFN!!

A Nice Monday

Well, yes today was nice AND it was a Monday!! I had a very busy day at school doing the team screenings and then the last minute stuff for the Lifestyle Positive Parenting Program that is part of the pilot in WA. I did fit in a siesta and a catchup with Paul before he flies out tomorrow
:(. Tomorrow nite is the Fathers Day workshop and I have to clean the house and do some stuff for that. So chow for now.

Mad Maniac Monday again

I really don't know what it is about Mondays that make me so emtional. There has been tears (mine), temper tantrums (also mine) and lots more! I'm feeling better now after a coffee from muffin break and we are heading out to Dampier skate park for a play soon. But first a photo of a card that I made using the fan folding flower tutorial on split coast. Best you go there for a look rather than me bungle my way through the instructions for you. I've used the leftover edge from the scallop edge on this card too. It was really quite simple to do and effective. The photo doesn't do it justice.

Here in Karratha we have a festival called FENACL which stands for the mineral wealth we have in our area ie FE= Iron ore, NA CL etc mind is too blank right now! Anyway its lots of fun with lots of rides and community info. Lots of giveaway too. I got a couple of the new energy reducing light bulbs, water bottles, a really cool fly swap made out of a kids thong (flip flop) which could double as a bottom slapper if they were naughty lol!! Sadly one of the last things I saw last night was a little fella break his arm going down this fun slide. In all the years I've been, its the first time I've seen an injury occur.

My kids loved this ride. They are right on the back here close to the number 10! Can't wait to get scrappin' on these photos but still am making my way through this massive list of unfinished pages and projects that I have in my stash. It is a really good feeling to be working through some of the stuff. Today I finally ordered a replacement mat for my kids trampoline. Can't wait til it gets here. BFN

A new year

Hello, I continue to have problems with posting pics but will hopefully get it sorted soon. Well, today has been a lovely day. It's my birthday and a very lovely one. I was given a very lovely silver seahorse from my children which Kate came up with the name "Seahorse trophy"! Kids are so funny. Paul arrived today for his first 2 week stint since he left Karratha. It was lovely to have him here for the day. We went out to Chinese for tea with Paul, Colby, Kate and my brother Steven and his girlfriend Amy. It was a really nice meal and a fun night. According to my son I am 44, really I am only 38!! Hehe, still lots of candles on that cake!!

Maniac Monday

Yep, don't know what it is about Monday but I wish it would stop! Today I tried to get the kids organised to get to daycare and vac care. My 4 year old now hates daycare since she started kindy....So I drive off from dropping the kids off at 1015! I drive to the shops intending to take a breather, grab a coffee and head to work. The line for coffee was huge so I headed to Coles to grab a few essential items like bread, milk, fruit and the mint slice biscuits. Once I was home I made a coffee, got into bed with my packet of mint slices and a book. I ate the whole pack, finished my book and went to sleep. Ahhh. have to say it has done wonders for me. I got up and cleaned out the 4 yo room, rearranged my lounge and did a few other jobs. Hope you had a good day. Be back very soon.
